The National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at Chalk River Laboratories (Ontario, Canada) was shut down unexpectedly in May 2009 following a leak of heavy water. The NRU reactor supplied approximately a third of the world's demand of 99Mo for 99Mo/99mTc generators used diagnostic nuclear medicine tests. Given the fragility of 99Mo supply, alternative radiopharmaceuticals, such as 18F-Sodium Fluoride (18F-NaF), are attractive options to replace 99mTc bone scans. Several studies suggest that 18F-NaF may be more accurate and more sensitive in the detection of bone metastases than 99mTc bone scans.
